Yes, that grab rail is a lot of metal. Been idly pondering what I might bodge up as an alternative to that. Perhaps remove the rear seat and start a luggage rack further forward, also removing the passenger foot pegs. After all, it's best to keep luggage as low as practical and as far forward as possible.
Jay In Milpitas, funny, I've been thinking of doing something with that pass seat to. I don't ride two up often, maybe five times all year on the YBR. Unfortunately due to a neck injury and constant pain, my wonderful wife can not ride with me much, a helmet is too much weight after a few miles and then this RX3 is way too high for her to get on. So I have been thinking of making the seat more of an additional storage box, great place to keep the tool roll, spare tube, Duct Tape and other paraphernalia.

And those rear foot pegs are HEAVY too, another "over build".
